Xschem example circuits should not contain `pre_osdi`

[hpretl]

In situations where the VerilogA models are located in a central location (not in various simulation directories, but e.g. in .../ngspice/lib/ngspice) the pre_osdi directive leads to an error when starting ngspice.

As a consequence, this directive should not be part of the "standard" examples. Alternatively, it should be wrapped into a check whether this file exists in this local directory.

i think the pre_osdi ./psp103_nqs.osdi belongs to the

Yes, the statement pre_osdi loads the external PSP model into ngspice which is needed for the IHP MOSFET. But this model can be loaded from a central location with a central ngspice setting. Thus, the pre_osdi is not needed in every schematic.

[olisnr]

You would prefer ./simulation/.spiceinit then?

[hpretl]

Not really. In our Docker image we just copy psp103.osdi into .../ngspice/lib/ngspice, and uncomment the corresponding line in .../ngspice/share/ngspice/scripts/spinit:

* Load the OpenVAF/OSDI models
if $?osdi_enabled

 * osdi /foss/tools/ngspice/ngspice/lib/ngspice/asmhemt.osdi
 * osdi /foss/tools/ngspice/ngspice/lib/ngspice/bjt504t.osdi
 * osdi /foss/tools/ngspice/ngspice/lib/ngspice/BSIMBULK107.osdi
 * osdi /foss/tools/ngspice/ngspice/lib/ngspice/BSIMCMG.osdi
 * osdi /foss/tools/ngspice/ngspice/lib/ngspice/HICUMl0-2.0.osdi
 osdi /foss/tools/ngspice/ngspice/lib/ngspice/psp103.osdi
 * osdi /foss/tools/ngspice/ngspice/lib/ngspice/r2_cmc.osdi
 * osdi /foss/tools/ngspice/ngspice/lib/ngspice/vbic_4T_et_cf.osdi

end

This spinit is the default init ngspice reads.

Since quite a few .osdi files are already there, and are included in the same way, it feels natural to add the PSP model there as well.

It looks like this will be resolved soon: https://github.com/IHP-GmbH/IHP-Open-PDK/pull/162
